Stray: A new beginning


"Well...this is..."

Pressing her forehead, Artoria looked at the scene in front of her, and what caught her eye was a scene that made her slightly stunned.

The incomparably huge platform is quietly suspended in the dead and dark, like the void of the icy universe. A soft ball of light is fixed above the platform, just like the sun as the only light source in the space, releasing no Light of any temperature and heat.

Familiar scenes, a transfer station between mission copies and reality dimensions.

“…”

“…”

It's just...the question is how did I return to this cycle?

Evidently just now, I was still dealing with political affairs in Camelot, helping Mordred to solve some difficult problems, and by the way, I stopped myself from thinking about it all the time, but only a little rest in the middle. All at once, stretched, and took a nap.

And then came here in a trance?

Altolia is no stranger to this kind of experience, and it can even be said that she is very experienced. This situation is nothing more than the time spent in the rest period is exhausted, and a new task cycle is coming, so in the When the time is up, oneself and others will automatically enter the space personal area.

The girl with blond hair and blue eyes was silent for a while, then turned to look to the other side. Unexpectedly, she saw Miss Ouyang and Charlotte. Under the ball of light in the center of the platform, the Master was raising his head. It seems to be communicating with the space terminal.

Looking at this lineup, you can basically confirm her guess, after all, the relevant people are all members of the space team

Even Charlotte is the Master's personal maid. Although it is a bit rude to say that, as an alchemy doll, it can probably be defined as an example of "bound equipment". Just like the original self, because the identity of a Servant is essentially a kind of existence defined as a follower and a summoned object.

So naturally, the space is also given to the staffing of non-staff.

Artoria is not surprised by this...

However, she originally thought that all this had become a thing of the past, but she didn't expect that this state of affairs seemed to continue?

Artoria let out a soft breath, and did not rush to say anything, but looked at Charlotte, the head maid who would probably never be troubled by certain things. It has the meaning of inquiry and inquiry.

Of course Charlotte noticed, but she still maintained her expressionless expression, her expression indifferent, as if she did not receive the signal from Arturia's eyes. After all, she still doesn't have any preset position. If she insists, she will stand firmly on the Master's side.

So at this time, of course she won't break the stage and say something that shouldn't be said.

Besides, she didn't believe it. These two women would never have thought of this. After all, they couldn't lie, so what else could they expect to hear from themselves?

“…”

“…”

Artoria was a little speechless, but since no one else spoke, she wouldn't speak either, just waiting silently.

The air was quiet for a while, like a frozen silence.

After a while, the magician seemed to have completed some settings. He looked away from the soft ball of light, turned around to look at the three silent girls, and clapped his hands to attract them. while clearing his throat:

"Okay, there is still some time, this time the mission is about to start, do you have anything to prepare?"

He looked at Artoria and said with a smile: "But now, Artoria, you can't go to the market in the normal area, and you probably won't be able to go to the Hall of Demigods, or you can take a look. Updated redemption list?"

Altoria also knew this, and her eyes narrowed immediately. Although she didn't know what her Master experienced not long ago, but because of the special relationship between the Servant and the Master, she could intuitively feel the biggest difference and difference.

It is like the relationship between an ordinary magician and a servant. The higher the quality of the magician, the stronger the magic power, and the stronger the power of the servant.

For example, if the same Servant is summoned, under the hand of a powerful magician, the ability parameter that is good at may be A or A+, while under the hand of a poor magician, it will be weakened to B-rank or At a lower level, that's the reason.

Servants can share the Master's abilities to a certain extent.

So...

If it is said that the connection through the contract before, Arturia feels that her Master is a vast ocean, an infinite sea, and every moment there are huge waves of energy rushing wildly, and a random wave is more than a supernova Outbreaks are more terrifying.

So now, it is still connected through the contract, but Artoria feels that it is an infinite field like a multiverse. This almost omnipotent power, even if it is only diverted along the connection at the end of July. A small part has come over, and she has already surpassed the demigods.

Just like in the world of The Elder Scrolls, the great **** Anu is just sleeping, and the thoughts in the dream can evolve into a real immortal, the sacred or manifested, or just the mystery of the upper realm, slightly differentiated outflow tributaries.

Humans in the three-dimensional universe grab a handful of sand at will, and every grain of sand flowing out of their fingers can fill the entire universe of the two-dimensional world.

That's about it.

It is precisely because of this that, feeling the state of her at this moment, Artoria is rarely aware of the first time that the law framework of space and the overall structure of time and space are so fragile that they seem to be paper In general, a little too much force can easily cause irreversible damage.

Then... with the Master's current ability, how could it be possible to restrain him here?

"This is not in a hurry...Master."

He said calmly, the king of knights took a few steps forward and looked at the magician who pretended to be natural.

"Can you explain first, what's going on now?"

"Explain what?" Xia Ran blinked and tilted her head in confusion.

"...That's what's going on right now, why do we come back here, why do we still have quests and so on." Arturia bit her lower lip, resisting some kind of urge in her heart, very serious further narrate your own problem, adding details.

Seriously, don't give this person a chance to get away with it.

"Ahahaha, do you still need to explain this? Isn't that what we used to do? Now that the rest time is over, it is natural to leave for other worlds again..." The magician said in a natural tone and continued. Play stupid.

“…”

“…”

Clenching her fists, Arturia looked at the other two and found that Miss Ouyang seemed to be distracted, while Charlotte was as calm as usual and didn't look like she could come to help, so Give up the urge in my heart.

She pursed her lips and turned around, leaving only Xia Ran's profile: "Master, if there is nothing else, I will go back first..."

"Yes, didn't you say before that if I have something to do, you will definitely help, won't you?" The magician frowned immediately, "When I used to accompany you to watch the stars and the moon, , called Xiao Tiantian... ah, no, it's because you swore a few days ago that your sword was only for me, and now you don't plan to admit it when you turn around?"

"You, don't talk nonsense! Master! I, I...what a sweetie..."

The king of knights was immediately embarrassed and annoyed, and this man couldn't speak seriously.

"And you really need me right now, and I can't help you."

"I need you very much." Xia Ran sighed and said seriously. He thought for a while, then stared at the blond girl with both eyes, "I'm not kidding anymore, I thought about what you said the other day, and I thought I couldn't agree, so I decided to vote down, and everything you said is invalid..."

"This is too domineering." Artoria was a little flustered, but she calmed down instead.

Sure enough, Master has begun to act.

Although I don't know what he plans to do with other people, it seems that he and Miss Ouyang chose the original way of getting along as a breakthrough. He could not care about space and tasks in the future, but he chose Go with the flow.

It is because only in this way can they be brought back in an open and honest way.

"Do whatever you want... well, let's get ready."

Xia Ran coughed lightly, without denying it, but turned to look at Miss Ouyang over there.

Standing quietly on the platform, wearing a palace dress, an emerald green dress, and a fluttering dress, the fairy is so beautiful that the magician can see the void behind her with a simple glance. There is a clear light in the middle, with a total of thirty-six layers stacked on top of each other, with clear distinctions.

It seems that in every layer of clear light, various images are evolving, and there is a small world full of vitality.

"Mingzhu has made great progress, I'm very relieved for the teacher..." With a light cough, Xia Ran pretended to be serious and said in an old-fashioned manner.

"Well, it's because of your good teacher..." Miss Ouyang seemed to have finally recovered, and then said in a coquettish voice with a bright smile. Compared with Arturia, she seemed to be even less good at concealing her emotions. Now the happy eyes are full of smiles.

Joining the "Superior League" before was a desperate gamble for her.

If she fails, Miss Ouyang feels that she can't bear it at all. These days, she has been restless, she can't sleep well, she doesn't have an appetite for food, she doesn't want to eat, and she is always on her own. frighten yourself.

Until now...

Just as Xia Ran doesn't mention the previous matter now, Miss Ouyang is also very tacit, and both of them pretend that nothing happened.

Because in Miss Ouyang's opinion, this is already a good start. The teacher has already taken the initiative to save her. Although it is such a roundabout way, it is enough to prove his thoughts and attitude... ...she thought so.

"Evolving all images with divine will, cultivating and polishing thoughts, and forming a void heaven and earth by yourself... The true meaning of thinking into the world has been approaching consummation. And it's not good to be too ambitious, just evolve thirty-six small cave heavens, very wise choice."

Looking at her students, Xia Ran said with emotion.

It's just different from her original ambition. Miss Ouyang has no unrealistic ideas in this step. She just coincidentally combines the number of thirty-six heavens to evolve thirty-six small caves, which is extremely rare. The superior mystic practice.

Although it is a small cave, each side of the world can have thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. In addition, the laws of all images are complete, and they form a cycle of their own with each other. The blessing of heaven and earth.

Between his hands and feet, he was a great power. Even if he didn't achieve the Five Realms, he was enough to go back to the ancient world where he was.

Even if the existence of the Demon Respect Building is of the level, and it is not checked and balanced by the laws of heaven in the human world, even if it is possible to use all its strength, it is difficult to kill such an opponent.

"At present, Nei Tiandi is only a prototype, and it is still very early before the final stage. I really feel ashamed of the teacher's teaching..." Miss Ouyang smiled like a flower, although she was talking about serious things, there was still a kind of deliberately looking for topics to ease the embarrassment. Suspicious, but she was still very happy to hear the teacher's praise.

Who doesn't like to hear good things, let alone a specific person speaking them out, it's naturally pleasing. Coupled with the feelings from a while ago, the difference is obvious. At this moment, Miss Ouyang is simply floating, almost wanting to go to the moon. go.

"The true meaning is complete, the only difference is the substantial accumulation. Just as the cultivation base is not enough, there is always a way to speed up the completion of the pills..."

Xia Ran smiled lightly, reached out and lightly placed her hand on the female disciple's forehead.

The next moment, the misty clear light in the void, the mountains, rivers, heavens and the earth in the interior are all jumping for joy, as if resonating, and the misty clear light is also more and more fiery, as if there are thirty-six moons inside at the same time. Brilliant, shining brightly on a full moon night.

Ouyang Mingzhu's cheeks were blushing just now, but before she could say anything, she felt that the fingertips that touched her eyebrows had left. Bless her with great power.

"There is still room for improvement, this is for you..."

Xia Ran spread out his palm, and five spiritual beads of different colors appeared. At this stage, he no longer needs these things.

"This, this is too precious, teacher, I can't have it..." Miss Ouyang, who was feeling her growing sense of strength, was stunned for a moment, and she instantly remembered what it was. , quickly refused to shake his head.

"It's not too precious, and this is not the original version. The original version has a commemorative meaning to me..." Xia Ran waved her hand.

So I just squeezed it out...

Miss Ouyang's expression was a little stiff.

"Take it, the next task world is not that simple. If you want to relax, it is better to accept the teacher's kindness." Xia Ran smiled faintly, and shoved the things in the past without any explanation. I applaud my wit from the bottom of my heart.

Very good, in this way, the relationship between Artoria and Pearl has basically been repaired.

Well, it should be like this, right?

"The next mission world... what is it?" Arturia couldn't help frowning, and then asked.

"Clash of the Titans...you should have seen the movie."

Xia Ran replied.

"That world?" The girl raised her eyebrows, "I don't think the energy level is too high, so there's no way there's any threat?"

“Everything can’t be seen on the surface, Artoria children’s shoes.” The magician said indifferently, “Any world that involves the gods cannot be underestimated, especially a plane with an orthodox mythological background. Time and space are basically just one of the billions of pastures under the mythical system."

Maybe the gods inside have only one plane projection, so their power is not as strong as the main body.

But there is no doubt that they can be traced back to the original source.

"...For Miss Medea?" Artoria was silent for a while, and raised her eyebrows, she felt as if she understood something.

Ms. Medea left very neatly, and she acted very decisively. She directly lifted the summons and completely returned to the Heroic Throne of the Fate world... But now, it seems that the Master also did a very good job, he It seems that you are ready to start from the original source of the legend?

Enter the world of Greece...

Falsifying the only linear history?

"No, I just thought I was going to do something big, so I chose Greek mythology to cut in." The magician said seriously, as if he believed this statement.

"Other mythological systems can also be cut into, right?" The girl was suspicious.

"There are very important reasons for this. The Norse gods have died out, and there are only some embers that have not been completely burned in the infinite world. I started with a high position in Buddhism, and now I am a high-level boss. the status of..."

The magician said with a face of Versailles: "And in the Immortal Dao system, I am now considered to be the first-level existence of the four royal families. The Milo Palace has been discussing important matters during this period of time, just want to give me something. The Emperor is coming, and I don’t feel that there is any challenge at all, so after thinking about it, I’d better find a new copy to practice my skills.”

“…”

“…”

"Master, I want to remind you, even if you don't take Zeus's great gods into your eyes, you should at least know that there is a super-primitive **** in Greek mythology." Arturia felt a headache. Rubbing his temples, he reminded.

"Don't worry, I have already dealt with Buddha, and you know the creator in the Bible, I talk and laugh with him..."

The magician nodded.

"I haven't seen Sanqing and the real Emperor of Heaven yet, but I'm going to visit, and I don't have any background..."

Hey

Speaking of which, he suddenly found out that he had really dealt with this kind of super-metaphysical supreme without knowing it. Could it be a wave of expansion?
